For most of my baseball career, I have had to play through the pain of chronic tendonitis. I have been frustrated with the lack of any ongoing effective treatment. After using Life Light’s low level light therapy system for a couple of months, my tendinitis appears to be healing and it feels sustainably better.
In October of 2016 I suffered a non contact ACL tear, lateral meniscus tear, and medial meniscus tear. Throughout my rehab process I spent numerous hours getting manual work to help improve my mobility. After a long day of rehab I would spend a couple of hours in the evening icing my knee for the swelling and pain. After I was cleared for full contact I continued this process. Then I was introduced to Life Light. With the use of Life Light not only have I cut down my recovery time but I’ve also improved my mobility and strength. Life Light is easily portable and the best thing is that it doesn’t require you to be sitting next to an outlet. With a lot of traveling I have used it on airplanes and sitting in the lovely traffic of the Bay Area. Life Light has been a game changer for me and I wish I would have found it sooner.
Kevin (57 year old with diabetes) was told his big toe was going to be amputated. Due to neuropathy and circulation problems he had an infection that could not be treated. After one week of Life Light therapy his toe was less painful and showed signs of healing. After two months his toe was completely healed, the infection was gone, and the amputation surgery was cancelled.

Patients have been referring our treatment to their friends and family who have become our patients.
From new to old injuries, the patients get relief they keep coming back for more therapy.
I have used Life Light both personally and while treating elite, world class athletes. My experience is all aspects of this device are far superior to other infrared/near infrared products available on the market.

“I have been seeing Jess for a variety of physical problems due age and activity related stress to by body over a number of years. The main problems are sciatic nerve issues on my right body side and with arthritic damage to my hands, and particularly my thumbs where I have had constant pain and reduced function. I have been working with Jess on a treatment schedule of Graston and Life Light treatment and have seen dramatic improvement in both hands which has substantially reduce pain and increased function over a time frame of about 3 months”.

“I first heard of Light Therapy from Jess during body work for a hamstring injury. It was nagging for over a month and limited my speed somewhat at Badwater. Since then I’ve had 3 treatments within 10 days and able to run and do deadlifts with no pain. Truly amazing technology”

“Between crossfit training and perhaps 2 x 30+ mile runs a month I didn’t think any sort of therapy would work that fast.”
This is a before and after picture of a Collegiate cross country runner with Achilles Tendinitis. The after picture was taken just 24 hours after being treated with Life Light’s device. Three days later this runner ran another race and set a personal record.
This patient was seen after severely spraining his ankle. After three Life Light treatments, over a 4 day period, his swelling was not only gone, but he also had a full range of motion with NO PAIN! After 8 days, he was back out on the soccer field competing again.
In the brief period that I have been able to use the Life Light in my practice, I have been able to see incredible results with my patients! This tool has been able to help my patients get results much faster than I have been to achieve in the past. One of the first patients that I used the Life Light on came in after severely spraining his ankle playing soccer. After 3 sessions of the Life Light over a 4 day period, his swelling was completely gone and he had full range of motion with NO PAIN! After 8 days, he was back on the field competing again. After seeing results like this from using Life Light, I can’t help but wish that I had this tool for myself back when I was in high school and college! The results that my patients have seen have them excited and recommending the Life Light to their friends and other patients! This is a tremendous tool that will be valuable in any health care office. I’m excited to see how many more people I will be able to help in the future using the Life Light!

I’m delighted to provide this testimony of my experience using LifeLight. I’m in my 70’s, and like three previous generations, I have been severely afflicted with arthritis in one of my hands. It had become so severe that twice in the last four years I’ve visited a hand surgeon to consider surgery for replacement of six joints on my right hand. I could just never quite pull the trigger on that, but the pain has often been unbearable. About eight months ago my physician recommended LifeLight and offered to let me try it in his office for a few sessions, but I could never get there often enough to notice any results. And in the back of my mind, I have to admit that the whole idea seemed a little quackish. Three months ago, though, I rented the equipment so I could have it available often enough to use it daily. After the first month I was virtually pain-free and able to button shirts and pants, use my thumb to turn my razor off and on, pick up items such as silverware or hold a toothpick…all with no pain and no dropping those items. I’m amazed. I’ve continued treatments through the second month at a reduced frequency, and the results continue to delight me.

“ I’ve been using light therapy for a couple of years with positive results in relieving joint pain and inflammation. When Rick advised me to try using the Life Light device for a sinus infection I was a bit skeptical but I followed his recommendation. After 4 treatments over the course of a weekend I was back practicing Monday morning – no headache, no runny nose and my energy levels were back to normal. I can’t wait to keep exploring the clinical benefits of light therapy with my patients. Thanks Life Light”

I first tore my ACL in my left knee about 4 years ago. I had the surgery to replace my ACL and went through physical therapy. For my job I was constantly on my feet and walking around on concrete. Per my doctor I was off work for a little over 3 months before he cleared me to return. Unfortunately I tore my ACL in the same knee again last summer. I went back to the same doctor for the same surgery and then back to the same physical therapy group. I still have the same job with the same basic physical requirements but I was cleared by my doctor to return to work after 2 weeks! The only difference between the first surgery and the second was using Life Light. I began using a Life Light unit the day after I came home from surgery. I would use the Inflammation protocol to keep the inflammation and swelling down, then I used soft tissue repair, bone and joint injuries, and dense tissue repair. I was able to start walking about a week after surgery and was walking normal by 2 weeks. My physical therapist was surprised by how quickly I was returning to normal. I did therapy for about 12 weeks and I was always progressing ahead of schedule. The therapist said I passed with flying colors, and we even completed therapy before my full amount of scheduled visits. I can’t say enough about Life Light, the difference between my first and second surgery was night and day. I hope I never have to have surgery again, but I definitely would not want to go through any kind of recovery with out Life Light.
David, Life Light patient
I own and operate a chiropractic office in Canada and we have a high number of athletes, ranging from Olympians and professionals to weekend warriors. I have an office whose auxiliary equipment reflects this clientele. Having just purchased the life light, I myself got hurt. I pulled a calf muscle early Sunday morning while playing tennis. It was a very humid morning and I was dehydrated from a social event the night before. The pain was incredibly intense. It took me several minutes to get to my car. This was my dilemma: I had a golf match in a few hours for our playoffs in our club championships that I could not re-schedule. With the pain being so intense, it was try and play or forfeit. I decided to drive to my office and used several life light protocols for approximately one hour and a few Advil’s. I attempted to try and golf. Amazingly, with a golf cart and a significant limp, I got a round and was able to play (and win) my match. There was absolutely no way two hours prior I could have played at all. The pain went from a 10/10 to a manageable 3 or 4. Without the life light, I would have forfeited my match. It was a great personal positive outcome that allowed me to have further confidence in the therapy. Thank you Rick and life light.

Tib/fib ORIF
This particular athlete was accustomed to having to hobble a bit after sitting/lying for a long period of time when his ankle was not being used. After his first session with the Life Light therapy, he messaged me later completely blown away. He was able to go straight into walking on his ankle without the hobbling and had not even noticed he had done that until a while after. He was able to forget he had an injury and move and act like he would have if he was not injured. The Life Light combined with the soft tissue manipulation helped him to get over that last bit of stiffness he was still experiencing in his ankle.

Hamstring strain grade 2.
The athlete was seen about 3 hours after the injury took place. He was scanned by the sports medicine physician to determine the full extent of the injury at which time it was diagnosed as a grade 2 sprain to the biceps femoris. Less than 48 hours later, he was scanned again using the diagnostic ultrasound and the doctor, not knowing that the Life Light was applied both days using the protocols for inflammation and soft tissue healing, sent me the pictures of what he saw. His message to me that accompanied the pictures, “No hyperaemia… Well done.”
Life Light provider, A.T.C., B.S., M.S.
Great effective tool.
The Life Light has been a great addition to my practice for both the rehab and massage departments. I have used it on a cross section of injuries from neck pain due to axial loaded impact to a tib/fib ORIF post op. I have had my clients report significant improvements. Whether chronic or acute, the Life Light paired with the soft tissue manipulation made a huge difference that allowed me to progress the athlete’s recovery on a continuous basis.
